Daddy Browser Champion

If you are reading this removal guide then you have encountered a malicious program designed to extract money from you. Maybe it doesn’t seem as serious from where you’re standing – you’re simply seeing a lot of advertisements all over web pages – but trust me, things are serious.

Daddy Browser Champion is part of the adware class of computer viruses: a type that operates as the back door for other, more powerful and problematic malware out there. Adware are, in essence, crude promotional tools, but the programs they come bundled with try to make it abundantly clear that they will not be held responsible for what is contained in these ads. And the reality of things is that the ads can lead you to major viruses out there.

It makes sense if you take the time to think about it. If these things are indeed promotional tools, then it stands to reason they will try to make it as hard as possible for you to remove them. And if you succeed, they want others of their kind to fill in for them. So they try to manipulate you into installing adware. The main ways they do this is by:

1.

Daddy Browser Champion can Redirect you to websites through the ads. Don’t be surprised if after you click on one of the ads, 2 or 3 new tabs open up. The big issue here is that when this happens, the new websites will begin downloading setup files after a few seconds. Do NOT let them finish. This can be absolutely disastrous. Once the download finishes an autoplay will begin, and another adware will start installing itself. Clicking exit/cancel has little to no effect, as obviously these things are a crime.

If you fail to stop the setup, there’s always a chance you may end up with something much more dangerous than Daddy Browser Champion. Ransomware are well-known for coming via this way. Ransomware are programs that encrypt (lock up)most of the files on your hard disks and ask for 100 or 500$ to decrypt (release) them. These are the proverbial nightmares on the internet.

2.

Daddy Browser Champion Can pose as fake programs – from updates ranging through Windows, Java or Flash Player, to impersonating entirely different entities like Winamp and Adobe Reader. These are always designed to take the face of the programs you have the highest chance to own. Alternatively Daddy Browser Champion may try to confuse you by acting as a “concerned” anti-virus program that wants to scan your PC for malware.
